One day at a carnival, Mr. Wilson meets the Professor and his assistant, Sylvester, who claim to be specialists in making people younger--for a price. It's a scam but Mr. Wilson is too naive to know. The first few attempts at decreasing Mr. Wilson's age fail thanks to Dennis. Mr. Wilson tries to do things better than Mr. Johnson when he follows them to the swimming pool but fails. But it's Dennis who catches the swindlers at their own game when Mr. Wilson wants to sell his house and the Professor and Sylvester show up disguised as plumbers, electricians, realty men, and exterminators and make large holes in Mr. Wilson's house--not to mention his check book, but it's Dennis to the rescue and everyone is happy. Sometime later, Mr. Johnson takes Dennis to the Grand Canyon in his motor home. The mistake is that it is parked awful close to the canyon and its wheels are stopped with a rock, which Dennis collects while rock hunting. Back at home, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson watch Mr. Johnson getting rescued from the canyon and Mr. Wilson proclaims, "He's a menace!"

15-year-old aspiring singer/songwriter Headly Henderson and her widowed mother René Henderson, co-owner of René and Lou's Bistro, have been the focus of each other's lives since René's husband/Headly's father Michael Henderson died suddenly in a tragic accident five years ago. The two do everything together. But as Headly is getting to the age where she may want some "boy" time of her own, especially as Bodie Miller, a childhood friend, has just reentered her life and shows interest, Headly wants her mother to find some love of her own again, which René has resisted if only because Michael was the love of her life. Unable to get René signed up to a dating website without a valid credit card, Headly and her more technologically-adept friend Willis decide to create their own method of online dating with men of their choosing. After they come clean to the three men Headly approaches with the carrot of an "all about René" video, they tell them that they cannot tell René that it was them who set up the date, each date to evolve out of the men being regular customers at the Bistro. Of the three men, there is connection between René and only one of them: Andrew, a widowed single father. To get to a happy ending, René and Andrew both have many obstacles to overcome such as the memories of their respective first marriages, and what it means to be back in the dating pool after their relationship experiences, especially at their stage in life. Meanwhile, Headly herself may have a bumpy road to her first real romance, with she perhaps not being able to see past Bodie's good looks for the mismatch that they are, truly to see that her first real love may have been staring her in the face for years, if she can get over the geeky persona--including a bad haircut and unstylish eyeglasses--and friendship as the surface characteristics.

Clarice is dead now and visions of her come to haunt Havana at night...

Forty-six year old Diane Després - "Die" - has been widowed for three years. Considered white trash by many, Die does whatever she needs, including strutting her body in front of male employers who will look, to make an honest living. That bread-winning ability is affected when she makes the decision to remove her only offspring, fifteen year old Steve Després, from her previously imposed institutionalization, one step below juvenile detention. She institutionalized him shortly following her husband's death due to Steve's attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and his violent outbursts. He was just kicked out of the latest in a long line of facilities for setting fire to the cafeteria, in turn injuring another boy. She made this decision to deinstitutionalize him as she didn't like the alternative, sending him into more restrictive juvenile detention from which he would probably never be rehabilitated. However, with this deinstitutionalization, she has to take care of him which means only being able to do home based work. Despite they always yelling expletives at each other and Steve sometimes demonstrating those violent tendencies toward her, Die and Steve truly do love each other, his emotions which are sometimes manifested as an Oedipus complex especially as he seems to need her complete attention most specifically when it is being directed at possible male suitors. Their lives, both individually and as a family, are affected with the entrance of two of their neighbors. The first is Paul, a lawyer, who does have that sexual interest in Die as he tries to help Steve through his legal problems. The second and more important is Kyla, who lives across the street with her husband Patrick and their adolescent daughter, they who are in transit in their life to wherever Patrick's job will take them. Kyla is a high school teacher on sabbatical as she deals with her own emotional issues, which are manifested in stuttering whenever she feels incapable of dealing with her life. Kyla may find that she needs the Després as much as they need her.
